Man is unaware of the fact that, he is not the witness of the three states



In general we do not observe the coming and going of the three states.  Man is unaware of the fact that, he is not the witness of the three states, which comes and goes in succession because he thinks only intellectual way which is limited to waking experience. 

 Man thinks he is an individual separate from the world and world existed prior to him and he is born in it afterwards. But he is unaware of the fact that, he and his experience of the world are within the waking experience.  The waking experience appears and disappears, same way as the dream. When there is dream than there is no waking. When there is waking than there is no dream.  When there is neither the dream nor the waking it is identified as deep sleep in waking experience.   One is aware of the dream or deep sleep only in waking.  The one which is aware of the coming and going of the three states is neither the waking entity nor the dream entity but the formless witness of the three states.  

 It is not waking entity because waking entity was absent in dream and also in deep sleep.    Thus one has to trace the existence of the formless witness of the three states, which is aware of the coming and going of the three states in order to realize the waking is parallel dream and dream is parallel waking.  The one which witnesses the waking or dream as a whole without the physical apparatus is formless consciousness, which is the innermost self.  When innermost self-witnesses neither the waking nor the dream than it is in its formless non-dual true nature, but  its true nature is identified as deep sleep in waking experience ,which is the state of ignorance. 

 Until one becomes aware of the existence of the formless witness of the three states the ignorance will prevail and the three states are considered as individual experiences.  Thus it is necessary mentally trace the existence of the formless witness in order to realize the formless witness, which is in the form of consciousness alone is real and the three states are mere mirage created out of consciousness.    

How man and his world can exist without waking experience. Whatever we are discussing, we are discussing within the waking experience.  One has to know: whether physical body and the world are within the mind or the mind is within the physical body?  The mind, physical body, ego and the world are present only, when the whole experience of the waking or dream is present.  And mind is absent, when the waking/dream experience is absent.  Thus one has to conclude the mind as the whole waking/dream experience.  Thus the mind appears and disappears as waking or dream experience. All your arguments are truth only on the base of the ego, which is the false self, within the false experience [waking].  The individual experiences within the waking are as real as dream.  

  
seeker has to  think:  suppose the same subject, if we are discussing in the dream and you asked me the same questions in the dream, then whatever you said in dream becomes unreal, when the waking takes place.  Whatever you are saying now, you are saying within the waking experience. The waking is unreal on the base of the formless witness, which is soul or Atman or consciousness.  Thus it is necessary to realize the soul, which is in the form of consciousness is the innermost self. Thus all our conclusions and judgment and conclusions has to be based on the formless witness of the three states no the on waking entity, which is limited to the waking experience.     

How does one see various objects, scenes and persons during dreams? If the dream is experienced without the physical body, then what is it that experiences the dream? Therefore, there must be an invisible [formless] experincer [witness/knower] of the dream world. This invisible [formless] experincer [witness or knower] is the same experincer that is experiencing this Waking experience. Therefore the Waking experience and dream both are experienced by one and only invisible [formless] experincer of which the seeker is not aware of.  Since he considers the physical body [ego] is the self [experincer or witness or knower] and views and judges the worldview on the standpoint of false self, within the false experience.  The formless experincer [witness or knower] can exist with or without the waking or dream. But waking or dream cease to exist, without the formless witness. 

The gross Waking experience is merged into the mental experience in the sense that, when it is analyzed, it is found to exist inseparably in and as the mind alone. All "spiritual" planes are really mental: those who regard them as different or higher are deceiving themselves.  The dream becomes unreal when the waking takes place; similarly the waking becomes unreal when the wisdom dawns.  Therefore everything has to be grasped mentally, not argued on the intellectual point of view, which is limited to the false physical entity within the false experience. 

The unreal is created out of real, and when one views and judges on the standpoint unreal [ego] then there is duality. When one is able to view and judge on the standpoint of real [soul or true self] then there is only non -duality.  Therefore, when the wisdom dawns then there is neither duality, nor non duality, only reality. This is my views and conviction. 

All these confusion will go on, until man thinks, he is an individual and apart from the world, and the world existed prior to him and he is born in it afterwards. Therefore, it is necessary to know the fact the true self is not ego, but the true self is the soul, and stop viewing and judging the worldview on the standpoint of the physical self [ego], and one has to view and judge on the true self [soul or consciousness] to realize the fact that, the world along with man is illusion. The formless substance from which the illusion is created is consciousness. Thus formless soul or  consciousness  is Brahman or ultimate reality.  Thus no second thing exists on the standpoint of consciousness as self.

Deeper inquiry and reasoning on the true base reveals the fact that, the mind, which is in the form of universe is an appearance.  Only on the standpoint of physical entity or ego the universe is reality.  But on the base of the soul, which is in the form of consciousness the universe is unreal. The formless witness or consciousness itself is the substance of the universe.   The man perceives the world within the mind or waking or duality. Therefore, man, ego, world together is mind.  

Thus mind appears and disappears as waking or Dream. The consciousness is the innermost self and witness of the mind or universe. The universe appears as waking or dream disappears as deep sleep.   The waking or dreams are dualistic appearance and deep sleep is non-dualistic. The one which witnesses the three states is formless, apart and eternal.  The mind or universe is mere mirage created out of consciousness.  on the standpoint consciousness which is the  formless substance and witness of the three states the three states are not real.  

  The substance witness is Atman, which is in the form of consciousness. Therefore nothing exist other than consciousness. The objective awareness is mere illusion created out of consciousness , the true self. Therefore, formless  soul or  consciousness  itself is the Brahman or ultimate reality, because there is no second thing exit other than consciousness.
